Ugh, this game was bad.

Controls were sluggish and unresponsive. Batman punches fast but moves ridiculously slow. Many times jump wouldn't register or I'd be stuck guarding instead of what I wanted to do. There was a reasonable number of moves including slide, guard, jump kick, combo punches, Batarangs, and Batmobile darts.

Music was standard brawler stuff, fast tempo and a tad whiny, nothing special.

Graphics were pretty terrible with badly proportioned enemies that just looked like blobby sticks or neon colored sticks.

Gameplay was standard brawler with a wide fighting field. Enemies come at you from both directions at varying speeds. The game suffered from poor programming where at times you could hit someone 'levels' above you while other times you couldn't hit something right next to you as though you weren't on the same 'level'. Enemies flew off-screen from random attacks and when they died. At bosses, the game was squished down to single-line fighting and it did not work. You could be hit from any type of attack regardless of what you did. Enemy swinging his arms and you go for a slide? Nope, you get hit like you were trying to die.

Overall, the gameplay was unpleasant, tedious, slow, frustrating...would not recommend.
